Remember

Published on Fri, 3rd Jul 2026 at 00:15

by William Troup

I came upon a journey, but I couldn't tell you where; I've tried in vain to remember, but all I see is despair! I've slept through many a night hoping the dream would come, yet further did I fall, and all that remained is scared ... I came upon a

It came upon the high tide, here, we've nowhere to hide; now afar, on the other side, rests an ocean so short of lies! Poseidon dreams upon the storm we've begat from stolen trees; what it leaves? we cannot believe! ... as frozen is the forgotten truth ...

Love did never consume me, nor take its toll on time; Her flowers bloomed in gentle winds that yearned for me to begin! My love did scream in glee! yet scream of me in greed? My ghastly fears prevail, with tears, as my heart does longingly dream ...

A jest beyond your doors yields little chance of succour; what of solace upon the floor? this voyage awaits the shore ...

Winters Maladies

Published on Mon, 15th Jun 2026 at 22:58

by William Troup

Winters maladies beset this mind; what of me will find the line? frozen pines still lace the times where a journeys eye did reach the blind! Blustery madness lingers in walls; what of me will make the call? chosen lines regale the fall where morrows heart did land in

Author Notes: Was in a political mood!

Gone, is the mighty eye, where orion sits on high; affixed upon the shallow sky, his heart did not apply. Further, mintaka sales july, as oceans reflect the lie; and of his partners eventual try? this hope will surely die?

Steps Fall Silent

Published on Sun, 7th Jun 2026 at 18:51

by William Troup

Faces red as the roses fall; we catch the rainbow where the rivers do glow! Thorns peel the skin of hearts! Wrens sing as the leaves spoil; we catch the wind where the boughs do grow! Feathers yearn for weight in dreams! Souls collide as steps fall silent;

As Summer Leaves

Published on Sun, 7th Jun 2026 at 18:05

by William Troup

Reluctantly, as summer leaves, our autumns heart is all she perceives. Of what she dreamed, we cannot believe, as winters hand is all we receive. What of spring and how she deceives? what of the saplings that learn to grieve? Reluctantly, as summer leaves, our autumns soul is

Of That Night

Published on Mon, 1st Jun 2026 at 23:27

by William Troup

I. Of that night, your beauty remains; pictorial history, in clearest of frames, captures the tulips that conveys the days we waltzed the nights, and unmoored our fights; of morrows madness, we shall relent and sing with rapture, in earnest plays. II. Of

Defiant of the Road

Published on Thu, 21st May 2026 at 23:37

by William Troup

Defiant of the road, yet fluent of the route, the ghoul has found his home and all he must atone. Remorseful of said times, yet resentful of the lines, the ghoul has set the tone for all he must atone. Spiteful with his words, yet hopeful of their peace, the ghoul has found

Stripped of yellow, our fading star is blue! what hue will replace thee? what of me will remain? What lustral face will come when the demons face their fate? Only the moon will say, whose back has yet to turn!

Streets of Decay

Published on Thu, 21st May 2026 at 02:03

by William Troup

On the streets of decay, an awful face replays; mirrors cannot embrace a heart made of lace, whose words have effaced these weary votes replaced. Holes of despair have opened our souls; what once was grace is time

Heart at Play

Published on Mon, 20th Apr 2026 at 22:02

by William Troup

Heart at play; gambolled away to beseech the day where we shall stay! On petal dreams, we lay in silence; a blissful stream did bring us thirst, yet not the first, as home flailed away with the wind. Heart at play; betroved away to

Fear Me Not

Published on Fri, 17th Apr 2026 at 23:56

by William Troup

Fear me not, as I am me, and you are thee, as heart separates to echos of three; heart, a fickle thing, clings to hope it's yet to grasp; mind, a backseat, begins again and hopes to last; soul, a wayward thing, begets the toll the lover cast. Fear me not,
